Everywhere We Look is a gripping work of literary crime fiction that deals with deeper issues of domestic violence, grief and female friendship.
​
Martine says: ‘When I wrote this book I was thinking about the elusive line that women, in particular, often struggle to draw when assessing their level of safety around others: am I safe with this person or am I not? It’s a question we ask when we’re walking home from the train alongside a stranger, it’s something we consider when we first enter into relationships, romantic or otherwise, and it’s so often something we continue to ask of long-standing and intimate relationships. So I wrote this book thinking about the ways that women and girls tread that line between self-preservation and paranoia.’

Publisher, Brigid Mullane, says: ‘Martine’s compelling debut plays so deftly with the tropes of crime fiction, in order to get to a deeper truth about the violence women face every day. The novel pulses with threat and yet at the story’s heart are three women – Bridie, Cassandra and Melissa – and the very real grief they are reckoning with. In this page-turning novel, she captures that feeling of questioning whether you are overreacting, but always knowing that you are vulnerable.’​
“Hailed as a new Liarne Moriarty, Kropkowski deepens the definition of crime fiction with her brooding debut novel.”
